The annual air show, A <br />Gathering of Memories, which features <br />these aircraft, attracts thousands of <br />visitors from all over the state. The CAF <br />hangar also houses a museum ofWWII <br />artifacts. <br /> <br />UTILITIES <br /> <br />The availability and capacity of the <br />utilities serving the airport are <br />important factors in determining the <br />development potential and level of <br />service to existing and future users. The <br />following information is supplied to <br />better determine the San Marcos <br />Airport's ability to provide service to its <br />users. <br /> <br />The airport is supplied water via the <br />City of San Marcos system. The airport <br /> <br />1-12 <br /> <br />maintains the old military sanitary <br />sewer and storm sewer systems. Due to <br />the unavailability of metal for pipe <br />during the time of construction, the <br />sanitary sewer system was constructed <br />of tile. A system of this age and type <br />construction is believed to still be <br />serviceable, yet subject to leakage. <br />Likewise the storm sewer system is of <br />World War II vintage and has failed in <br />specific locations. Potential drainage <br />problems could eventually arise that <br />inhibit airport operations and <br />development. <br /> <br />Electrical service is provided to the <br />airport by Pedernales Electric <br />Cooperative (PEC). The airport is not <br />currently served with three-phase <br />electricity. Natural gas is not currently <br />supplied to the airport. <br /> <br />ROADS <br /> <br />The airport is served by a main road <br />which accesses all available ground <br />services, including the terminal, <br />hangars, and parking areas. After the <br />split of property from the Gary Job <br />Corps Center, the road centerline was <br />used to locate the property line and <br />place the fence dividing each property. <br />Since this resulted in a single driving <br />lane on either side of the fence, road <br />was hastily laid to allow sufficient <br />width for two way traffic. The road is in <br />serviceable condition, but needs <br />resurfacing in several locations. <br /> <br />AREA AIRSPACE AND <br />AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL <br /> <br />The FAA Act of 1958 established the <br />FAA as the responsible agency for the <br />
